Responses (6) Zoloft and most SSRI / SNRI's take roughly one to two weeks to take effect. Some people experience a positive effect sooner, and some don't respond to the medication, and possibly the dosage needs to be increased, and or a different medication needs to be given a try. Thank you for your response.
Changes in Stool Color. Certain stool colors can signify health problems. These include: Red or maroon stool: referred to as hematochezia and may indicate gastrointestinal bleeding that originates from the colon.Red colored stool may also be a result of ingesting certain foods such as beets, rhubarb, radishes and turnips.lack stool: may indicate bleeding in the stomach or the upper part of the small intestine. Black stool that results from a gastrointestinal bleeding is often associated with a tarry texture and foul odor. Iron pills or certain medications, like Pepto Bismol, may also cause black stool.
Green stool can also be caused by taking iron supplements or eating certain foods such as green leafy vegetables. Green stool can also indicate a problem with food digestion due to a disease, disorder or other abnormal process. The normal color of stool or feces is generally light to dark brown. Stool gets its color from bile, which is a yellow-green fluid produced in the liver that helps to digest your food. As food passes through your digestive tract, digestive enzymes break down the bile, resulting in various shades of brown stool.
